I solved the problem right away.
thank you
Hi guys,
I went through the thread and the github ready and FAQs but didnt get an answer yet.
My cameras (310 and 210) were working fine, just following the integration. But a couple of days ago I have an integration error and I am not able to reconnect the cameras again.
It is all fully accessible via the tapo app but in home assistant it’s not possible to get the cams back.
I set a static IP, reinstalled the cams and the integrations a couple of times, changed login details for camera and tapo cloud but without success.
Is there any idea?
Thank you in advance!
Jonas

I hope this is the correct log you asked for:

Version 5.3.0
↱↲ Media Sync
Integration is capable of synchronizing recordings for fast playback.
Synchronization is turned off by default, you can browse media stored on camera and request it to be played. However, downloading is rather slow, so it is a good idea to enable media synchronization in background. That way, you will be able to play any synchronized media from camera instantly.
You can enable this setting by navigating to Home Assistant Settings → Devices and clicking on Configure button next to the Tapo device you wish to turn media synchronization on for.
You need to also define the number of hours to synchronize. Unless it is specified, synchronization does not run.
Finally, you are able to set the storage path where the synchronized recordings will be stored (defaults to /config/.storage/tapo_control).
New Features
- Ability to synchronize media recordings
- Add #383: Ability to configure order of days in media browser
- Add #298: Turn on or off the Tapo camera control notifications
- Add #377: Support Floodlight Control on Tapo C320WS HW2.0
- Add #274: Ability to set digital sensitivity value for motion detection
Fixes
- Fix: Edge case where integration crashed and required reboot after configuration update
- Fix: Edge case where pytapo was not able to retrieve user id for recordings
- Fix #356: Recordings stop working after some time
Breaking Changes
- Entities which are not controllable with privacy mode turned on will now become unavailable when privacy mode is turned on

Just as a feedback, I got this response from the HA dev team:
This is an issue in a custom component thus I am going to close this.
Apparently the port passed into this transformation function is “local” which isn’t a port, thus it raises an error.
The problem lies inValueError: Port could not be cast to integer value as ‘local’.
Sorry, I need help!
I bought a Tapo 210 camera and have been using it in Home Assistant through motionEye without any problems.
Today I found this integration that I found very interesting, but when installing the camera it forces me to have a cloud Tapo account, which I don’t have, and I’m not interested, because I want everything to work locally.
Is there any way to solve the problem, or is it better to give up on the integration.
Thanks a lot for the help
Hi, you have cloud account. It is the email and password you are signing in with to the official app. Camera required password from it as explained in the config flow.

Thank you very much, I did not understand this nuance, now everything works perfectly.
I was convinced I needed a paid account to work.
With your excellent help I managed to get everything working and I’m very happy.
Thanks

Hi, thanks for the awesome integration once again. I’m liking the media sync feature except that I seem to be encountering some issues. I want the recordings to be synced to an external hardrive that I have mounted to home assistant, I can view it in the “Media” tab, I have created a folder where I would like the integration to save the recordings, however it seems like the integration is failing, what could I be doing wrong? I have enoutered this in the logs:
This error originated from a custom integration.
'Logger: custom_components.tapo_control

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Have you tried stop Recording ?, or do you assume that you can record direct to both card and external storage ?
have motion-based recording so when there is not motion I assume it would stop. Also, I thought the features works as follows, the camera records and saves to the SD card, then this integration downloads the recordings to the specified location? It seems to work if I don’t specify a location and it syncs the recordings to the default location in the “config” folder but I wouldn’t want it there as it will then fill up my main drive.
I don’t know your settings, as i also don’t know your settings/preferences for your external storage
******* UPDATE *******
I power cycled one of the cameras and the motion detection came back 
Never underestimate the power of “switch it off and switch it back on again” 
**** END UPDATE ******
Is anyone having issues with motion sensors on their cameras?
Three of my six cameras are reporting that their motion sensor entities are no longer being provided by the integration. I’ve not changed any of the camera settings, I just happened to notice that theses entities were "unavailable" yesterday. I’ve tried reloading the affected cameras but no change.

asyncio.exceptions.CancelledError: aiohttp connection lost
I´ve understood the entity will not be there after a restart and only will appear when triggered at least once. So what I used to do is reboot and then trigger it to have it appear.

Hi all,
I am struggling to record videos triggered by the motion detection of a C310.
My research didn’t show up a proper solution. The scenario is probably the common one to record the video after motion detection with a lookback.
What I experience is that the record itself works great but it starts right after the motion has finished. So no lookback and actually no capture of the motion sequence.
Here are my current settings:
service: camera.record
data:
duration: 50
lookback: 20
filename: /media/Balkon_rechts_{{ now().strftime("%Y%m%d-%H%M%S") }}.mp4
target:
entity_id: camera.balkon_rechts_hd_stream
Are there any tweaks I missed?
